Beta fish and razorblades

Since, I have recently been left with an abundance of beer in my refrigerator, I decided to leave you with yet another alcohol-induced blog compliments of The Champagne of Beers.

So, I rescued a beta fish from the depths of Wal-Mart today to give my niece an awesome B-day gift. Am I the only one that finds it a little alarming that there wasn't much water left in the little cup and that there was dust on the top of the lid? Maybe that's the real reason why these fish always seem to hastily die. I give it a week before mommy will have to replace it with another overly excited purple beta fish. I named it Bert. Bert the Beta. I know, I am a bad aunt.

I am relaxed as hell. I don't know if it's from the group yoga or the beer. I like to think it's the combination of both.

This time change has really confused me. I felt like I should be going to bed for the night at like 7pm tonight. Even I'm not that lame. Although I would probably function better if I would do that every now and then.

Today really made me realize even more so what I'm not missing out on (yes Kole I know that ended in a preposition). The contrast was amazing. How did I get so lucky. The word unscathed comes to mind along with many others.

Thanksgiving is in the near future. Time is going by extremely fast. I think I just might have to make more sausage balls and deviled eggs this year. I really should branch out and one day I will.

If any more of my myspace friends drop of the face of the earth, I will be forced to copy Kole and do the whole blogspot thing. At what age do you outgrow myspace?

My favorite time of the year is quickly approaching. I want snow. I want warmth. I want liveliness. December is going to be awesome for many reasons. I believe a trip to Chattanooga is going to happen some time in the middle of the month. That always proves to be fun.

I love my new gym. Group classes that make me sore, lots of people, smoothies, free massage, free t-shirt, a locker and an elliptical that I have designated as my own even though they are not...


Things I am grateful for:

no more discontentment, good company and conversation, lifelong learning, eager anticipation, continuous change, the cutest niece in the world, restoring broken relationships, decreasing responsibility, increasing freedom, merging the old and the new, life lessons, impending holiday festivities, distinctiveness...

That is all I have for now.
